What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to build a house because I am homeless, pay my daughter's secondary school fee, and expand my fish vending business so as to earn more profit and meet my family's basic needs.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have worked hard as a fish vendor and my children are progressing well in school. I now have two children in secondary school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is that I lack sufficient funds to build a house and comfortably educate my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when I have earned profit from my fish vending business. I am always happy because I know that my children will have food to eat.
